This red knit gamer by Nike was worn by Brett Jaeger during the 2001-02 WHL season, the Vancouver Giants inaugural season. This Goalie played 4 seasons of juniors in the WHL with Medicine Hat, Vancouver and Saskatoon before launching his professional career with the ECHL’s Fresno Falcons in 2004-05. Jaeger spent 6 seasons between the pipes in the ECHL and CHL, where he won the league championship in 2009, before taking his craft to Europe where he’s played for the past 9 seasons.

Sewn to the right breast of this game is the WHL patch. The game wear on this size 58 sweater is solid and consists of stick and puck marks, an un-repaired hole at the upper part of the crest, crest trauma, goal post and crossbar paint transfer, plate and number puckering, heavy collar pilling, pilling on the left lower sleeve and inner pilling. This is the first time we’ve had the pleasure to offer one of the Giants 1st year gamers at Auction. Jaeger, the Giants starting Goalie, appeared in 47 contests putting heavy use on this sweater during Vancouver’s inaugural season in the WHL. This jersey will be accompanied by a Giants team letter.
